C1175 I Want to Ask You a Question First
Hearing Liu Lei's question, the mysterious old man seemed to have expected it and replied immediately.
"The difficulty will definitely be there, but it should be within the range that you guys can bear."
"In addition, I guarantee that this test will be beneficial to you, and will not harm you."
Liu Lei and the others looked at each other. They all had the same thought in their minds.
No harm? It would be strange if I believed you!
More benefits? This was too ridiculous!
As long as there was no harm in this test, they would burn incense and not dare to imagine any benefits.
They were now a little traumatized by the old ghost and did not dare to easily believe in him.
But no matter what, he had to listen to what this test was about first.
It wouldn't be too late to decide whether he agreed or not after knowing what the test was.
Even if he didn't want to agree in the end, it wouldn't matter if he were to fight again.
However, the mysterious old man didn't immediately say that he was going to test Ye Xiwen. Instead, he said:
"Before I speak of the test, I would like to ask you a question."
"Why did you risk your life to come to this dangerous tomb?"
The question from the mysterious old man made Liu Lei and the rest look at each other in dismay.
It wasn't that this question was too difficult, but rather too simple.
Why else would they enter the tomb? Wasn't it just to get the treasures in the tomb?
No matter how foolish a person was, he would be able to guess the answer to this question.
Moreover, from the mysterious old man's words, it could be seen that he also knew about this matter.
But if you understand, why ask again?
Was he confirming something, or was there some other purpose?
In short, if he didn't answer this question, he probably wouldn't know what the test was.
Therefore, no matter how simple this question was, he still had to answer it.
Liu Lei thought about it and replied with a serious expression:
"The reason we entered the tomb is to find the treasures left behind by the ancient cultivators."
"These treasures might have valuable magic tools or resources."
"No matter which one it is, it is all a fortuitous opportunity for us. To be able to make our combined strength grow by quite a bit."
"So in general, we entered this tomb to become stronger."
Although Liu Lei didn't know the meaning behind the mysterious geezer's question, he still answered it seriously.
Because he was afraid that this question had something to do with the events that followed, he had to take it seriously.
At least for now, the mysterious old geezer had no intentions of causing trouble, so this attempt could be continued.2
"In order to become stronger?"
The mysterious old man's gaze suddenly turned ancient. He then muttered to himself.
"Is there really any meaning in working so hard to become stronger? Isn't it all going to end up in the dust?"
"As long as you work hard, there will be meaning to it!"
Liu Lei replied forcefully:
"The higher one goes, the lower the water flows."
"Trying to change fate is everyone's instinct and power, and it has always been this way since ancient times."
"Even if the path to changing fate is extremely arduous, it is still worth it."
"It's better than being an ordinary salted fish."
"Even if I end up dying in the dust, as long as I work hard enough, I won't regret it!"
Liu Lei's words came from the bottom of his heart, and it wasn't just for the mysterious old man to hear.
This was what his master had taught him. From the moment he had embarked on the path of cultivation, he had long since made such preparations.
